Hi Laurent,

I've now tested this series briefly together with QSPI on Koelsch, and
on top of that I've also done a prototype back port to LTSI-3.14. All
seems well except this minor Kconfig adjustment that I needed to do to
handle the case when we only enable this driver:

Not the prettiest solution, but at least it makes the code compile
regardless of SH_DMAE_BASE.
Can you please consider folding this hunk into next version of your series?

Thanks,

/ magnus
